Leslie Dam is located ten kilometers from Warwick Central Business District. Excellent freshwater fishing and water sports facilities are available.

SunWater is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for our dams is maintained. The spillway will be upgraded in the longer term. [2]

The dam was named after Patrick Leslie (1815–1881).
